"You have an Inferno Dragon?!"
Old Mo and Chen stared at Su Ping in astonishment. How rich and powerful did he have to be to be able to buy such a battle pet?
Nie Chengkong was surprised as well. He had thought that Su Ping would summon that strange skeleton. He didn't expect that he would summon an Inferno Dragon!
Guo Yuelin, Zhou Jing, and Ye Chenshan could not believe their eyes.
Su Ping didn't stop. He summoned the Little Skeleton as well.
The Little Skeleton didn't cause much of a stir. If the Inferno Dragon was a meteorite thrown into a lake and stirred up thousands of waves, then the Little Skeleton was a pebble that could only cause some ripples.
Everyone was speechless when they saw this little skeleton that was only a little over a meter tall.
Nie Chengkong was surprised. "This is the skeleton beast?"
"Yes." Luo Guxue nodded. Not only could the Little Skeleton kill the Magical Corpse Beast, it could even defeat a ninth-rank beast like the Abyss Flood Dragon. It was an anomaly!
Su Ping didn't stop there. He summoned the Purple Python again.
The Purple Python was over a hundred meters long. It was as big as the Bloodthirsty Snake and the Blood Flood Dragon. Su Ping didn't summon the Purple Python to fight. He summoned the Purple Python to be his guard and protect him.
Su Ping didn't think it was safe to rely on the Earthen Dragon's protection alone.
Everyone was surprised to see the Purple Python's size. It seemed to be much larger than the average Purple Python.
That being said, the Purple Python was only a beast with a middle-rank bloodline. It was the cheapest and least popular type. They didn't expect that Su Ping would keep an average pet like the Purple Python when he already had the Inferno Dragon. Su Ping didn't think it was necessary. The Purple Python was occupying his attention.
"Since Brother SU has taken out the Purple Python, I can't be stingy." Nie Chengkong glanced over all the pets that Su Ping had summoned, especially the Inferno Dragon. He waved his hand and summoned two more battle pets, one at the intermediate position of the eighth rank and the other at the upper position.
Normally speaking, the two battle pets wouldn't be of much help in a battle against a warrior at the upper position of the ninth rank. However, Su Ping had even used the sixth-rank Purple Python. It would be unreasonable for him to keep the two battle pets.
Elder Mo and the brawny man surnamed Chen's face twitched slightly. This was asking the whole family to come out!
After some hesitation, they each summoned another secondary pet. Both of them were at the intermediate position of the eighth rank.
"The secondary pets will assist in the battle. The ninth-rank battle pets will be in charge of the attack."
Nie Chengkong felt more confident as he looked at the team. It was a pity that Su Ping's Inferno Dragon had just reached adulthood and its combat strength was not high. If the Inferno Dragon were at the ninth rank, Nie Chengkong believed that the Inferno Dragon would be able to deal with the dragon subspecies. The Inferno Dragon alone would be able to deal with the dragon subspecies.
Elder Mo and the brawny man surnamed Chen breathed in relief. If they were to send their secondary pets to fight against a sub-dragon species at the upper position of the ninth rank, they would only serve as cannon fodder.
"Should we set up a trap outside to lure the sub-dragon species out?" Zhou Jing asked. He was a smart man and he liked to use tricks.
Nie Chengkong had the same idea. "Sure."
Su Ping had wanted to push them out directly. He didn't want to waste time. However, since they had decided to be cautious, Su Ping had to give up the idea. It would be better to be safe than sorry.
Soon, they came up with a plan.
They chose a nearby valley as the location for the ambush. Above the valley were boulders prepared by the Earthen Dragon. The boulders were made of iron extracted from the soil. They were more like iron balls than boulders.
Ye Chenshan and the others' battle pets were hiding on both sides of the valley. There were traps with lava and ice blades.
When the traps were ready, the problem arose.
Who was going to lure the Flame Flood Dragon out?
Su Ping didn't want to be the one to take the lead. He was confident that he could kill the Flame Flood Dragon on his own. That being said, they were in the real world. Who could tell if something had happened inside?
What if the Flame Flood Dragon was not at the upper position of the ninth rank as he had seen in the cultivation site? He would be in trouble.
Everyone looked at Su Ping. They all wanted to let Su Ping go. After all, Su Ping seemed to be familiar with the cave. However, they were embarrassed to say that out loud.
"Never mind. I will go." Nie Chengkong looked around. No one was willing to go. Su Ping was familiar with the cave but he was already in charge of scouting. He had made great contributions along the way. Nie Chengkong could not bring himself to ask Su Ping to go on such a dangerous mission.
Besides, Su Ping had the Inferno Dragon but it had just reached adulthood. The Inferno Dragon was not as strong as the Dark Dragon Hound. Su Ping's main force was the Little Skeleton. But the Little Skeleton … was only slightly stronger than the Dark Dragon Hound.
Everyone was relieved to hear Nie Chengkong's words.
Nie Chengkong asked Su Ping for details about the cave. Su Ping gave him a brief description but didn't go into too much detail. After all, if he was too clear, he would be out of the scope of investigation. That could lead to unnecessary suspicion.
Nie Chengkong was relieved to hear the information from Su Ping. He took a deep breath. His eyes flickered. He told the others to wait there and come to his rescue at any time.
He was quite confident in his own team members.
Zhou Jing and the others nodded and told Nie Chengkong to be careful.
Soon, Nie Chengkong told the Fallen Priest and the Bloodthirsty Snake to lead the way. They went into the cave slowly.
A moment later, Nie Chengkong went deeper into the cave and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Outside the cave, everyone waited quietly. As time went by, they became more and more anxious.
Su Ping was calm. He was calculating the time based on Nie Chengkong's speed. Around seven minutes later, Su Ping looked into the cave and said, "He should be out soon."
Su Ping's words startled everyone. They hurried to look into the cave.
Boom!
They heard a noise coming from the cave.
They were scared. Here he comes!
The next second, Nie Chengkong was the first to appear. He was running at full speed. When he saw the others outside the cave, he shouted, "Go to the valley!"
Roar!!
From the cave behind him came some angry roars. The walls of the cave were banging. It seemed that a fierce fight was going on.
Everyone turned around and ran back to the valley at once.
Nie Chengkong caught up with them. Not long after they arrived, the Fallen Priest and the Bloodthirsty Snake went into the valley. The Bloodthirsty Snake kept using its Sinking Ground skill along the way. The ground behind the Bloodthirsty Snake kept collapsing, creating deep holes to block the Fallen Priest's pursuit.
Behind the Fallen Priest and the Bloodthirsty Snake was a flood dragon that was almost two hundred meters long. The flood dragon was covered in red scales that were burning with flames. The flood dragon was roaring and moving at a shocking speed. Even with the Sinking Ground skill, the flood dragon was still closing in on the two pets.
Nie Chengkong was nervous. He clenched his fists.
Soon, the Flame Flood Dragon reached the valley. At the same time, the Flame Flood Dragon was only one hundred meters away from the Fallen Priest.
"Do it!" Nie Chengkong said in a hurry.
The traps that had been prepared and brewing were activated in an instant. Iron balls weighing more than ten thousand pounds fell from the sky. There were over a dozen of them! Every one of them could pierce through a building with dozens of floors and leave a huge hole in the ground.
At the same time, the injured Flame Bird had been brewing lava. The lava was gushing out from the walls of the valley toward the Flame Flood Dragon.
The spikes and ice blades that the others had prepared arrived in an instant. They were all aimed at the Flame Flood Dragon at the same time. Those skills might not have been able to hit the Flame Flood Dragon in a normal battle. However, since they had been preparing, none of them missed!
"Sea of Rocks!"
Chen's eyes glowed. He shouted. His astral powers surged into the pet through the contract. The Earthen Dragon bellowed. Its strength was increasing rapidly. The Earthen Dragon stood above the valley. Its strength was transmitted to the walls of the valley through its feet. The entire valley was shaking.
Boom, boom, boom!
The walls of the valley where the Flame Flood Dragon had entered were protruding and then closing up. They were going to squeeze the Flame Flood Dragon to death!
"Calling from the Earth!"
Nie Chengkong told the Bloodthirsty Snake to use a ninth-rank skill of the stone family as well. Rich earth elements gathered in the air and turned into square boulders that were compatible with the space in the valley. The boulders smashed down, leaving no room for the Flame Flood Dragon to dodge.
Boom!
It was as if the entire valley had exploded. The noise was earth-shattering.
Before the dust settled, Nie Chengkong told the Fallen Priest to go in with its rod.
The Fallen Priest released dark miasma, corrosive and hallucinogenic. If a low-rank beast were to come into contact with the dark miasma, even a trace of it, the beast would go berserk. Its blood would flow backward and it would explode to death!
Many augmentation skills were applied on the Fallen Priest. The Fallen Priest's body swelled up a bit, giving it a stronger and wilder aura.
Whoosh!
The Fallen Priest's huge rod generated over a hundred shadows. The Fallen Priest smashed down. The hundred shadows merged into one and fell into the dust at the same time.
With a bang, the ground trembled. Another cloud of dust was stirred up.
Roar!!
A wave of infuriated and frenzied roars suddenly erupted from within the cloud of dust, and it was filled with surging baleful qi.
Intense flames swept out from the dust cloud and instantly erupted, dispersing all the smoke. The Flame Jiao Dragon's figure seemed to have been reborn from the flames. It straightened its upper body in the flames and roared as it suddenly spat out a mouthful of dragon flames.
The Fallen Priest tried to fight back. However, the dragon flames were of the ninth-rank and the impact was strong. The rod in the Fallen Priest's hand was burned red. The impact knocked the Fallen Priest away.
The onlookers were shocked. They didn't expect that the Flame Flood Dragon could still be so powerful after taking so many attacks.
That being said, the previous attacks were not completely ineffective. The dozen iron balls thrown by the Earthen Dragon alone had caused great damage. There were several dents on the Flame Flood Dragon's back. Its scales were broken and blood was oozing out. The blood had dried up in the flames and formed scars.
Su Ping was relieved to see the Flame Flood Dragon. It was the same as the one he had seen in the land of inheritance, at the upper position of the ninth rank. The difference was that this Flame Flood Dragon was thinner and its momentum was different. It was more gloomy and cold. It was not the same Flame Flood Dragon. Maybe, it was its descendant.
"Let's do it together!"
Nie Chengkong bit his teeth. The trap worked but it didn't cause as much damage as he had imagined. They would have to fight the Flame Flood Dragon with real weapons.
Luckily, after all the previous battles, Nie Chengkong, Su Ping, and Old Mo had been working well together. They could make full use of their pets' abilities.
Old Mo forced a bitter smile. He had to tell his Death Scythe to go into the valley.
Without hesitation, Old Mo told his Earthen Dragon to land in the valley. He cast the Earthen Shield on his Death Scythe, the Fallen Priest, and the Bloodthirsty Snake. At the same time, Old Mo also used the Dragon Shield and the Dragon Scale Shield. Those were the inherited skills of the Earthen Dragon. Their defensive abilities were stronger than the Earthen Shield. However, the Earthen Dragon couldn't use those skills on anyone other than itself. Not even Old Mo Chen could enjoy those skills.
After the Earthen Dragon finished casting those skills, it bellowed and took the lead to charge toward the Flame Flood Dragon.
